Accounting

Challenge

Is maintaining your books overwhelming?

Most Start-Ups and SMEs struggle with their monthly bookkeeping. For a Start-Up doing the bookkeeping themselves can be a time-consuming process. While SMEs struggle to come to terms with the cost of hiring a full-time bookkeeper. Regardless of size, businesses need access to up-to-date and accurate financial information. It is needed not only as a legal requirement for tax filings but also for making sound business decisions and identifying potential red flags. Simply put, it is not feasible to remain in control of your business finances if you don’t know what’s going on.

For us, what distinguishes FirstLink from the many accountants we’ve dealt with in the past is their adoption of modern technology to reduce the tedious and administrative processes and their focus on providing clients with not only accounting services but value added advisory and consulting services. As business owners, we’re not necessarily savvy in finance or legal, however, we can always depend on FirstLink for any issue we are facing. We feel like the relationship with FirstLink is more partners for life as oppose to just a client – accountant relationship.

The team at FirstLink introduced our business to Xero accounting. It has given us a lot more control over our financial information and for non-accountants; it is extremely easy to use. The Xero Mobile App easily allows us to send invoices to our customers on the go and tracks when the invoices have been viewed by them. I would definitely recommend Xero and FirstLink to anyone looking to implement cloud software to gain real time financial information to improve their business.
